One of the biggest questions couples ask me while planning their wedding is: "Where should we do our photos?"

Whether you're looking for historic architecture, beautiful gardens, waterfront views, lush greenery, or an indoor backup for a rainy day, Hamilton has no shortage of amazing options for wedding photos.

I put together a guide featuring some of my favourite wedding photography locations around Hamilton and the surrounding area, complete with permit information, sample galleries, and tips to help you decide what works best for your day.

Melissa & Siva’s wedding at McMaster University felt like a full circle moment in the best way! This is where they first met years ago, and now they’re back here getting married - how special!

We wandered the campus for portraits, hitting all the familiar spots and a few quiet corners that meant something to them. It is always fun shooting at Mac as a past student myself!

So much meaning in every frame from this one. Melissa & Siva, enjoy your sneak peeks!

Rain absolutely put in overtime for Alyssa & Mike’s wedding day at West Avenue Cider House. We’re talking ALL day, intense rain... but these two never let it steal the joy for a second! Their attitudes were amazing and there were smiles, laughs, and so much excitement all day long. We made the most of the stunning rustic barrel room and the cozy cottage getting ready space, and then the weather finally gave us a tiny break in the evening. We ran outside during the 30-minute rain pause and grabbed a few photos before it started up again. Sometimes wedding days don’t go exactly as planned, but this one was proof that joy always wins! Enjoy your sneak peeks !

Leah & Peter’s wedding at the RBG Rock Garden was such a good one! These two are the kind of couple that make taking photos feel easy - so many laughs, so many candid moments, and just nonstop fun the whole day. Even though it was definitely a hot one, it didn’t slow anyone down and the day was amazing from start to finish. I had such a great time hanging out with these two and capturing all the in-between moments that make a wedding day feel like *them*. enjoy your sneak peeks!!

Isis & Gilmar’s wedding day was such a good one from start to finish. We kicked things off with a beautiful first look at Gage Park Greenhouse, surrounded by lush greenery, then headed to Ancaster Mill for the rest of the celebration. These two brought so much energy, laughter, and constant smiles, it made everything feel effortless. The overcast skies gave us the dreamiest light and those backdrops never miss. So many genuine moments and good times all day long. I loved being a part of it.

Enjoy your sneak peeks , !
